Team practice for Pittsford United, with members of the O40A, O40B, and O30 teams in attendance. Good scrimmage at Meridian Center, although the pitch is uneven and the grass was longer than I expected, slowing down the play a bit. Used the turfs rather than the cleats.
Played central midfield throughout the match. I didn't worry too much if the ball got through, since a guy named Craig Demmin was playing Central D behind me. Craig plays for the Pittsford O30 Premier team. Even though he's been retired from the Rhinos for a few years now, he's still in great shape and such a solid player. I remember watching him and Schweitzer anchor the Rhinos D for all those years, and he doesn't appear to have lost a step. It's great that he's stayed involved in the sport - he evidently coaches a few youth teams on the side.

| US Relay Championships - Orange Course - Leg #2
Mitch ran first leg, Rob S. ran #3 and Rob H. ran #4. Overall was pretty happy with the run. One blunder was #5 - got a bit off on the bearing to the W, saw a control in a reentrant and made for it. Checked the # and - bzzzt - wrong answer. Headed east toward a collecting trail to start again. Luckily I hit on a control which was on my map (#6) and relocated from that - zipped over the hill to #5, back to #6 and caught the remaining controls cleanly.
Therefore, I was both hurt and helped by the large number of controls set out in the woods. I also wasn't using the compass, and that would have prevented the wandering off line that I experienced.
Great fun, though. Courses were well laid out and it seemed like everyone had a good time. Kudos to the crew! |

| Hiking some trails in Powder Mills as a cool down and stretch out from the relay championships. Too nice a day to sit around. |
